Hi Chris,Please pardon me, if my info is up-to-date, I don't believe Zeldox has been approved by the FDA, yet. Pfizer (maker of Zeldox) received an "approvable" letter from the FDA a few months ago. Pfizer is still trying to "iron out" some kinks with the FDA regarding Zeldox's effect on the electrocardiogram (ECG). The FDA will most likely require Pfizer to include some form of information alerting physicians about the risk of cardiac rhythm disturbances associated with the drug's use. The exact nature of the wording has not yet been worked out. It is not known, for example, whether electrocardiograms (ECG) or other forms of monitoring for heart rhythm disturbances will be recommended or required.
